Evidence: | 'A friend brought me in the last "Quarterly" which I looked at tho' but slightly as yet not being able. There are by far too little variety in it though I think some of the articles good - I have always been afraid your Review would lose all character of independance [sic] by the system of one friend reviewing another but I never before thought you would suffer a poet to review himself'. |
